    ya I dropped my American Marine PH meter in my sump. Cleaned it off blew it dry and let it sit over night. Unless I always want a PH of -1.0, I think it's toast. Locally is seems only American Marine are being sold. Are there any others meters I should look into before purchasing a new one

    WOW Ok those are a little out of my price range. I was hoping for something in the $100.00 range :)

    LMAO I did the same thing.
    I tried a waterproof pen style as a replacement. 1 word. Don't! POS
    I'm back to the test tubes till I accidently break this one by flinging it at the wall to adjust it and can find a reasonable alternative.
    Post up with what you find.
    Check good old E-bay.
    Good Luck

    Hanna PH meters are less than $100.00 I have one and I have their Conductivity meter also. Grainger.com and drsfostersmith.com sell them.

    I think I'll just go for the milwaukee monitor cheap, and it works.
    Plus I can pick one up after work.

    No didn't bother. Most controlers I found have too much invested in lighting control, like dusk/dawn control. I have little needs for that. The bottom line is all I need is monitors no wave control or pump control at all. so I don't think I need one at all.

    BTW I think I might be trading frags for a milwaukee unit
